2004 Ford Expedition Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Out in Wilson, near the beach side of Oxnard, a guy called me about his 2004 Expedition sitting in a parking lot. He'd lost his only key somewhere in the sand, retraced the whole stretch, checked with the lifeguard station, and came up empty. The truck was locked, he had nothing, and his first instinct was to wait for a tow Monday morning.

I told him I could be there that afternoon.

When I pulled up, he was sitting on a bench next to the Expedition looking at it like it was going to apologize. I picked the door open mechanically and decoded the wafer positions from the lock to get the exact cut. From there I cut a fresh blade to match, then connected through the OBD port and ran the all-keys-lost sequence through the immobilizer. That process clears every previously registered key from the vehicle's memory and enrolls the new one as primary. First turn of the key, the engine started.

I asked him if he wanted a spare cut while I was standing there. He thought about it for about two seconds and said yes. Smart call.

The whole job ran about 45 minutes start to finish. He drove home from that same lot with two working keys. The dealer quote he'd already looked up online, before he called me, was more than double what he paid, and that wasn't counting the tow.

He texted me later that night. He'd found the original key in his beach bag.
